THE SANDWICH-MAN.
Perambulating Advertisements Now to Be

PerambuIating Advertisements Now to Be
 Met on the Boulevards ofParis.
 The "sandwich-man" is fast becom- ing an institution in modern republican Paris. A large number of men got up as perambulating advertisements may now be met on the boulevards; some grave as mustard-pots, walk along with huge iron frames fixed on heads and shoulders; others appear, or rather dis appear, inside gigantic bottles or similar vessels, whereon the trades mans wares are conspicuously labeled. The least objectionable form of the eye sore is the poor devil between two boards, upon which distinguishing broadsides have been pasted. In for mer times, London used to teem with with regiments of such unfortunates, who for shilling day consent ed to promenade from St. Paul's to Chariug Cross and back again from Chariag Cross to St. Paul S, principally for the display of announcements in favor of rival newspapers. The sand wich-man made his appearance two or three years ago in Paris, where his placards attracted an attention that must have proved gratifying to his employers.
 The present is not, however, the first occasion on which this peculiar il- ustration of peripatetic advertising has been seen in the French capital,

STRANGE DISEASE.
Death of Two Victims of Beri-Beri in
 NeIy York Hospital.

Death of Two Victims of Beri-Beri in a
 NeU York Hospital.
 The presence in New York city of number of cases of beri-beri, or kak-ke, has re-awakened medical interest in this peculiar disease. The patients came from Sln Francisco by vessel, and three of them were taken to Belle vue Hospital. Two of these died. On the voyage, most of the crew were affected with the disease, and some of them fatally. This affection prevails in Japan, India, South and Central America, and in the islands of the Gulf, and is technically considered to be a multiple nueritis, or an inflammatOry condition of the erves. As rule the spinal nerves alone are implicated, but occasionally the CT anial nerves as well. It has been demonstrated with great degree of probability by Cornelissen and Sugenoya thas beri-beri is an in- fictitious disease, the specific cause be- ing micro-organism resembling the bacillus of anthrax, which is found in the blood, muscles aud nerves. In the cases at Bellevue the nature of the disease was not recognized at snffi- ciently early stage to enable the physi- cians 10 study the microbes, or to make any cultures of them. -Sciesce.

POULTRY FEATHERS.
Their Growth From the Time They Start
 in the Skin Until Fully Developed.

Their Growth From the Time They Start
 in the Skin Until Fully Developed.
 The growth of the feather of fowls from the time it starts in the skin until it is fully formed and the different changes it assumes, is quite interesting to watch.
 By close observation of the skin Of fowl one can see that where the feather is to grow, there is a small hole, and at the bottom of this and close to one side, there seems to be a little groove, or furrow, quite noticea- ble on one side, and deepest at the bot tom. This is all covered with the skin of the bird, just the same as the rest of the body, but this elevation, which has already started at the base of the small hole mentioned, gradu- ally growing larger day by day, but the skin does not break, as one would naturally suppose, but unites and the scales of the skin become hardened and help to form the horny coat over the surface of the elevation, which gradu- ally pushes onward till it fiattens and as sumes the form of feather The ele- vation then loses its groove, the main one forming the shaft of the feather, and this branches out into the separate barbs of the vane.
 Thus you see that the germ of the feather is first formed under the skin, and after it pushes out so as to show the barbs of the feather, is then called the pin-feather, and it is these pin-feathers, as we all know, that make such disa- greeable work in dressing the fowls, as they are short and hard to pull out of the skin, and besides this, the base of the feather is full of soft meaty sub stance, and even if the feathers are all carefully plucked out it is very hard to leave the body of the fowl so that it will present a neat and attractive ap- pearance when marketed.
 Many breeders make the mistake of considering chicken feathers worthless. This is wrong idea, for although they are not as valuable as those from ducks or geese, yet they can be used in a great many ways and are well worth the little trouble required to save them. -Fdrn1, Field and StocbnaGn.

Two Little Girls.

It was a blowing, clustering St. Val entine's Day, fifty years ago. Mrs. By was making ginger-bread-"muster gingerbread" she called it, and Nellie was watching her. She was a wee, chubby girl in linsey-woolsey gown that was long enough to reach the tops of her laced-up leather shoes, and dark tier that was almost as long as her gown. am afraid if you had seen her you would have said she looked just like little old woman. She wore a cap, tool forgot to mention that-a tiny linen cap, trimmed with lace.
 She looked on and wondered long time before she spoke, thinking over and over what she should say.
 If you please, mother" said she, at last, q would like to know what makes you call it muster gingerbread. Is there mustard in it?"
 Her mother laughed.
 ''Oh no. my child, there's no mustard in it, she said, kindly. And l don't know why it's called muster ginger bread, unless because it is the kind that is most always sold on the muster ground.
 We'll, it smells very nice, 1 think" said Nellie. Pretty soon, her mother rolled her dough again, and taking a knife, cut out heart-shaped piece which she put in to bake with the rest And when it was done to a nice brown, she gave it to Nellie.
 ''There's a valentine heart for you" she said.
 "Oh, thank you, ma lam" cried Nell lie, eagerly.
 She was so happy! She couldn't hays been better pleased with real golden heart, such as I saw on valentine to- day, with pretty verse beneath it. and roses and lilies all around
 Only little while ago heard this same Nellie telling this story to little maid in a white pinafore, whose cash mere frock doesn'treach anywhere near the tops of her dainty kid boots, and who had been crying for as much as ten minutes because she only had five love- Iy valentines, all silver and gold, and cobwebby lace and flowers.

STAINS BABY KING.

How He Must Be Treated According to
 the Regulations of Court Etiquette.
 The baby King of Spain is fine, handsome shild, who enjoys robust health and does credit to the immense amount of care with which he is sur rounded. Though court etiquette. re- quires that the baby AlphQnso XII. should be treated with the most rigid ceremony, his mother will never call him ''the King" unless on very strict state occasions, but uses the simple term of ''my child" His Majesty has his own vast suite of apartments next to those of the Queen Regent, and a special guard Beeps his bedroom door at night. His foster-mother, the sturdy peasant Raymunda, feeds and amuses the baby; but he is washed and dressed according to traditional ceremonial by a bevv of ladies of honor, under the directions of his ''governess, >" who held the same office toward his father. Doctors visit the baby twice daily, and every day he drives out with his gov erness and Raymunda-some tines with the Queen. In court ceremonies, Ray munda must not carry the King; that if the duty of the Mistress of the Robes or of his aunt, the Infanta lsabal. Queen Christina is most devoted mother, spending all her spare time with her boy and the Infanta Isabella is equally attached to her nephew M F HornId

UNCONSCIOUS NEEDS.

Wants That Are Largely UnfeIt by the
 Needy Ones Themselves.
 It may be thought that wi tn so many needs of which men are fully conscious. and which they are eagerly endeavor- ing to supply, it is somewhat super fiuous to recount or consider those of which they are unconscious, and which can not, therefore, trouble or distress them. If they can not with all their efforts, respond to the many needs which they feel, why lead them te, search for others of which they know nothing? Yet the truth remains that the deepest and most pathetic needs of humanity, those which appeal most loudly for succor to such as can dis, cover them, are largely unfelt and unr known by the needy ones themselves.
 The inconsistencies of real neces- sities is not confined to childhood. The youth entering active life has many conscious wants. Full of vitality, he desires to put it forth; he craves sue cess in his enterprises; wealth or fame or love or glory seem to him brilliant possibilities for which he will strive. Yet none of these things are so essen- tial to his welfare as others of which he is profoundly unconscious-a firm moral principle that shall enable him to resist all allurements to evil; patience, perseverance, industry, eco nomy, kindly disposition, love of justice, benevolent heart. Whoever helps him to attain his conscious wants may benefit him and earn his gratitude, but he who can arouse within him sense of the deeper needs of his nature and help him to supply them IS his truest friend and benefactor.
 So through all life. The student knows that he needs more knowledge, but he does not recognize that thirst for knowledge and mind eq uippedto satisfy that thirst, are far more essen tial needs. The man of business IS very conscious that he needs more capital, but is sometimes quite ignorant that he needs more caution. The mother in her family wants to have more obedlent children and more dutiful servants; she knows not that the family's real need is that of wiser and more self-con- troled mother and mistress.
 This inconsistencies of the deepeSs needs is the great foe to all growth ana | improvement. The contentment of tha slave with his chains forges them motA firmly than the tyranny of any master ] can do. It is when the real need fSS liberty becomes also conscious need that the era of freedom has begun So with other evils; as long as we are un- conscious that they are evils, contentto abide in them, taking them as matters of course to be accepted, instead of foes to be conquered, so long they will re- tain their power over us. He who arouses us from this torpor, who shakes us out of our self-satistied condition, even at the risk of disturbing our pass i've ease and comfort, renders us fat | greater service than if he ministered to q thousand wants which our fancy IS constantly suggesting. - Ph'tddetph'd Ledger.

How He Looked at It.

It had been long and tedious case. The lawyers on both sides had spent several days fighting each other with all manner of legal tactics, and the judge had spent four hours charging the jury. The jury was out two days and could not agree. Finally they were discharged, and it was found they stood eleven for conviction and one for acquittal.
 Dennis Murphy was the one that held out. "'Pon me soul," said he to a friend, ''niver in me loife have I kim across eliven such stubborn men. "- IId-BitS.

UNsENTIMENTAL VALENTINE.

If met you face to face, Maiden fair and full of grace. should bow and doff my hat, Say your servant" and all that. While watched your pretty ways, could only smile and praise; And you'd never dream your lover Could flaw in you discover. But I'm bolder, lady mine, Hid behind St. Valentine; And I'll count you one, two, three Faults that can plainly see. Once saw a tempest rise, Clouding o CT your pretty eyes, When a guest came to the door, Who was old and sad, and poor. Once I saw you turn away, With a cold and freetful ndy, When your little brother came Begging for some childish game. Once saw you sit at ease, With book upon your knews, While your mother-patient saint Did your work without complaint. An! my pretty Valentine, Ere I ask you to be mine, must know that lovely face Shines with more than surface grace; That your captivating art Does not hide a careless heart. Lest when tresses brown grow white, Eyes get dim which now are bright, Age and trouble come apace, Stealing beauty from your face, I should bitterly repine Choosing you my Valentine.

After the last chorus was sung,
the Hon. G. r. Bishop, the Presi-
dent of the Board Of Education, was
called upon to distribute the prizes.
He made few appropriate remarks
to the boys, complimenting them
upon the progress they had made in
their studies. He then proceeded to
distribute the prizes. The first
prize, a silver medal, was won by
Job Naukana. The President, in
presenting this prize, said that al
though the recipient had been alb
sent from school for several weeks
during the term, that during the
time he had attended school he had
worked unusually hard to make up
lost time, and had succeeded in
winning the coveted prize.
The second, third and fourth
prizes, were books, and were be-
slowed upon Geo. Rosa, VIM. Kino,
and j. S. Kalakiela respectively. In
the second class the first prize, a
book, was won by Milalo; the
second, a compass, by Daniel Mi
randa. Other prizes were bestowed
upon the pupils of Mr.. Whites
room, as follows: First prize TO
Handiwell X. Ii; second: to Oio;
third, to Chas. McCandless, and the
first prize in the second class to
